Give a Dog a Bone – A New Web Site


 Give a Dog a Bone   A New Web Site

A new web site project online – beckbone.com

Last month, I finished a web site for a trombone-playing friend who is a commercial player. His site reflects this with its splashy, abstract design rendered in the Grunge illustration style.

This week I published another trombonist site, this time for Mike Becker, principal trombonist of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. The design for this site is very different from the previous one. It is a bit more traditional.

The main goal here is to promote the Low Brass Boot Camp, a summer seminar for college-aged students to study fundamentals, repertoire and low brass sectional techniques.

So far this is a pretty simple site, but work will continue in the weeks to come.
